Really detailed proposal! I think this can give Arbitrum DAO a huge edge in managing service providers and streamlining processes better than most orgs. If done right, we could set the standard for other DAOs.
Well I believe the biggest win here is governance efficiency. Tbh right now, it’s exhausting for delegates to vote on procedural proposals just to stay engaged. This can fix that. Also, having a structured process to vet service providers could prevent wasting funds on low quality services.
One thing I’d mention about the auto-pass mechanism in the Optimistic Governance Module. If no one objects within the set time, proposals pass by default? even in case they’re not actually good for the DAO…. So maybe consider requiring a minimum number of explicit approvals to make sure someone is always following up.
Also, I didn’t see details on how service providers will be selected, maybe that’s for another proposal but hope it leaves room for new players to join.
I have to say it’s a long process, but if we don’t try, how do we know if it works. Can always improve it over time since picking the right providers isn’t a quick decision anyway
